“Anthony: Now lower your dress a little-Roslynn: Anthony!Anthony: This is no time for offended modesty... You're the distraction.Roslynn: Och, well, in that case.Anthony: That's quite low enough, my dear...Roslynn: I was only trying to help,Anthony: Commendable, but we want the chap to ogle you, not bust his breeches.”

“Anthony grinned at her, knowing that would probably infuriate her all the more. "My eyes have been a-wandering, as you put it, for the last nineteen years. Give them a rest, Roslynn. They settled on you and don't want to move on.”

“Anthony sneezed and pushed them aside. "Mother, I am trying to have a conversation with the duke."Violet looked at Simon. "Do you want to have this conversation with my son?""Not particularly.""Fine, then. Anthony, be quiet.”

“Shall we return to the dining room?" Anthony queried. "I imagine you're hungry, and if we tarry muchlonger, Colin is sure tohave eaten our host out of house and home."Eloise nodded. "Either that, or they've all killed him by now."Anthony paused to consider that. "It would save me the expense of a wedding.""Anthony!""It's a joke, Eloise," he said, giving his head a weary shake. "Come along, now. Let's make sure your SirPhillip still residesamong the ranks of the living.”

"Jason,old man, I tried to calm this great hulking bull down last night, indeed I did,but he was having none of it.Blames me-""Great hulking bull?" James interrupted, one golden brow raised sharply."-because Greoge ain't talking to him," Anthony continued without pause. "And now he's got me in the same bloody boat, because Roslynn ain't said a word to me since.""Great hulking bull?" James repeated.Anthony glanced at him and smirked, "The shoe fits, believe me.”
